Hello

I have a chunked dataset of size 20 20 10.

Chunk size are : 10 10 1.

le'ts say i read an hyperslab of data defined by:
start={0 0 0}
count={4 4 4}


I read it into a 1-D array.

and i get
X Y Z
0 0 0
0 0 1
0 0 2
0 0 3
0 0 4
0 1 0
0 1 1
0 1 2
0 1 3
0 1 4
0 2 0
0 2 1
...
0 4 3
0 4 4
1 0 0
1 0 1
...


If i understand well, a chunked dataset is read chunk by chunk, so i cannot understand how i can obtain this kind of order without reordering completelly the data. A unique chunk cannot contain two diferent Z..

So,
Is this normal? do HDF5 reorder data (wasting time and ressources )? Is there anyway to control this order? (not row-major, but let's say Z-major..)

Thanks for helping.

Mathieu
